“May Our Smiles Be Forever”- Kanu Nwankwo & Wife Celebrates 17th Wedding Anniversary (Photos)

Footballer, Kanu Nwankwo and his pretty wife, Amara Kanu, who got married in 2004 are celebrating their wedding anniversary today.

The couple shared their wedding photo on Instagram to celebrate their special day.

In 2017, Amara granted an interview where she spoke about her early marriage.

Except from the interview:

How did you adjust to being married to a popular personality?

When I was getting married, I was not ready to be thrust into the limelight. I didn’t even know what I was getting into. I wasn’t a football fan and I knew nothing about the Premiership. I didn’t know I was getting married into that level of limelight as I was young, vibrant and in love. I am now a football fan.

Did you harbor any doubts about your marriage?

I wasn’t scared; I felt it like it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I was in love, so there was no time for a negative feeling like fear to come up. I think the love I had and still have for my husband was all I needed to feel comfortable and good.

You got married at the age of 18; how were you able to keep the family and home together at that time?

Marriage is a growth process and I learn on a daily basis. I got married as a teenager. I was young. I think I jumped into the deep end and I simply went with it.
It takes a lot of determination to keep things going because irrespective of your age, marriage throws a lot of curves at you. The main thing is being able to bounce back after being hit with a surprise or what you do not expect.

Would you want your daughter to emulate by getting married at a young age?

Having gone through it myself, I wouldn’t say I would like her to do the same. I would like her to experience life slightly a bit more than I did.
But it all depends on the circumstances and the persons involved. I had support from my mum, dad and siblings. In hindsight, I can say that they actually did a good job. In June, we would celebrate the 12th anniversary of our wedding.
